Ink Dots
Capture territory on a paper grid — surround your rival's dots to win.
About
Born in the 1970s USSR as a paper take on Go: a squared page, two colours of ink, a duel from the school desk. Take turns placing dots and surround your rival's dots with an unbroken chain of your own — captured dots leave the board and count as points. Whoever captures more wins. Simple rules, deep play, no luck — a simplified Go on a notebook grid. It goes by many names — Точки in Russia, Kropki in Poland, Židi in the Czech lands.
